F aurally Hirimjr o o OXFORD, NORTH CAROLINA. Beautiful Answers. A Persian pupil of the Abbe Sicord gave the following extraordinary an swers : "What is gratitude?" "Gratitude is the memory of the heart." "What is hope?" "Hope is the blossom of happi ness." "What is the difference between hope and desire?" "Desire is a tree in leaf hope is a tree in flower; and enjoyment is a tree in fruit." "What is eternity?" "A day without yesterday or to morrow; a line that has no end." "What is time?" "A line that has two ends; a path which begins in the craddle and ends in the tomb." Despondency Due to Constipation Women often become nervous and despondent. When this is due to constipation it is easily corrected by taking am occasional dose of Cham berlan's Tablets. These tablets are easy to take and pleasant in effect. Should Not Crib our Name. There are several United States in the world not counting the Union of South Africa, which unnecessarily plagiarized our "U. S. A," for it might as easily have been called the South African Utnion. The Russian Republic would t have been a good name for the latest convert to pop ular government. It would follow the analogy of the French Republic. But we trust it will not be called the United States of Russia. The short name would still be Russia, as the short name for the United States of America is America. But the Rus sian provincial system is not such as to suggest States and their combina tion into a confederacy.
